If the two armies are at war and are defeated and captured, they can still work as laborers in exchange for a chance to survive, waiting for their own country to exchange them for themselves after the war is over.
After all, when the two armies are fighting, it's life and death. It's normal to fight on the battlefield no matter how you fight.
But now they are massacring unarmed people. This is intolerable to any country. They must hate them and want to cut them into pieces.
Zhao Long secretly gritted his teeth and thought hard about countermeasures.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, through the broken window, he saw a soldier of his own in the yard, quietly moving towards the outside of the inner room.
Those were the soldiers he had ordered to carry out the old man and the child, and now he became the hope of saving people.
The soldier tiptoed to the window of the back room and quietly picked up the short crossbow hanging on his waist.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Long immediately looked at the general without squinting, pretending as if he hadn't seen anything.
"Brother, as I said before, when is the time to retaliate? You have already lost this war. Your country of Loulan has a small population. Every population is an extremely precious resource. Don't waste human lives here anymore.
.
Listen to me, put down your weapons, and I will leave you a way to survive."
Zhao Long was still stalling for time.
"Leave a way to survive, okay. I'll ask you to throw away the weapons in your hands and tie yourself up. Do you want to do it?"
You definitely won't do it. After all, your own life is more important than the lives of the people.
In this way, you take your people and get out two miles away, and I will let her go, what do you think?"
The general grinned ferociously,
"Do you dare? If you dare, just get out of here. Don't worry, I will definitely let you go. If you don't dare, we will die together. Anyway, I have already killed enough, hahahaha."
The general's eyes were full of ridicule. In his opinion, the problem Zhao Long encountered would not be a problem at all if it were him.
With so many people, you can just shoot all the enemies and hostages with random arrows, and can they still be captured by the enemy?
It is said that kindness cannot control soldiers, and in the eyes of the opponent, Zhao Long is simply the benevolence of a woman.
Let alone this general, even if Zhenbei Hou Han Yun is here, he cannot allow others to threaten him with the life of an unknown person.
But Zhao Long is different. His philosophy has always been to protect his family and country. What is he protecting? Isn't it just ordinary ordinary people who are unarmed?
If a commander is so cold-blooded and ruthless that he doesn't even care about the lives of his own people, then the soldiers under his command will probably lose their morale.
After all, soldiers all come from ordinary people's homes.
Without further ado, the general looked directly at Zhao Long, waiting for him to make a choice.
However, at this moment, another soldier came in from outside and said loudly,
"General, promise him, no matter what, the hostages should be rescued first."
As soon as he said this, the attention of the three people opposite him immediately shifted to him.
Suddenly, the sound of the window paper breaking was heard, and two crossbow arrows were shot from the window paper into the house one after another. In the blink of an eye, they pierced the temples of the thief who held the woman hostage with a knife.
When Zhao Long heard the sound of the window paper breaking, he raised his gun without hesitation and swept across the general's waist, sweeping him away.
The last soldier was so frightened by this sudden change that he didn't know what to do for a moment. When he came to his senses and wanted to draw his sword to kill the woman, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were already shooting at him.
.
In the blink of an eye, the man was shot into a hedgehog.
Zhao Long swung his spear again without stopping and smashed it at the general. Seeing this, the general who fell to the ground roared and wanted to block, but the weapon in his hand had been thrown away. In desperation, he just
Able to raise arms to block.
But how could his arm block Zhao Long's thundering shot? After Zhao Long's gun body hit the general's arm, the gun head was thrown downwards with the inertia, directly knocking off the general's helmet.
His head was smashed to pieces.
The man's arms and head were shattered.
His general is different from the generals of Dachuan Kingdom. Sichuan Kingdom generally has fifth-grade generals, but this person is only seventh-grade. He was just a deputy commander before, but when the war comes, he has summoned so many troops and no one can use them anymore.
That's why he was promoted out of the ordinary.
Zhao Long had no worries and easily killed him with two moves.
"Drag the body out!"
After Zhao Long finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside.
The soldiers behind him dragged the four corpses and walked outside the house.
The last soldier saw the topless woman sitting limply on the ground, sobbing with lifeless eyes. He felt pity, pulled a worn sheet, draped it over the woman's body, and then walked out.
.
The woman, with her two pale hands tightly grasping the sheets, her eyes dull, looked at her husband's body being dragged outside, and looked at the messy home all around, her pupils without a trace of luster or color, no matter what
Two lines of clear tears flowed down his cheeks and onto his white lips.
After a moment, she looked at the knife that the soldier had dropped on the ground.
…
The old woman was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing, not knowing whether she was thanking Zhao Long for saving them, or begging not to kill them.
The little girl stood timidly, not daring to say a word or even cry.
Zhao Long knelt down, smiled and comforted her, saying,
"Kid, don't be afraid. The bad guy is dead. You can live in peace in the future. Someone will come to rebuild your family..."
Zhao Long sighed while comforting her.
There are only three women from three generations left in this family, and not a single man. How can we live in the future?
If it were moved to another place, I am afraid that the whole village would be wiped out and all the women and children would have to be sold. But it is okay here and that should not happen. After all, the whole village is dead.
It's just such a hard life.
Bang!
thump!
Two sounds suddenly came from the room behind him.
Zhao Long frowned, then stood up abruptly.
The little girl seemed to have thought of something. She yelled "Mother" heartbreakingly, pushed Zhao Long away and ran into the house.
Zhao Long and others immediately followed in.
In the room, the woman fell to the ground and closed her eyes. There was a long wound on her neck, blood was flowing out, and a bloody knife was thrown on the ground.
"mother!"
The little girl rushed over and cried loudly.
Zhao Long's gun fell to the ground feebly.
He tried his best to save the woman from the thieves, but in the end, it was all in vain.
The woman committed suicide.
She may be a chaste and fierce woman who feels that she has been raped and just wants to die to prove her innocence.
She may have collapsed and despaired, her home was destroyed, her husband died, and she saw no hope of living.
Regardless, she died.
That was a five-year-old girl who lost her father and then her mother.
The days to come will be even more difficult.
The story of this family is just the tip of the iceberg.
The tragedy of family destruction and death is happening in every corner of this land.
